This site is a "work in progress" and I suspect it will always be that way as more interesting projects are found.

The information contained in this site has been collected over the years of building and flying various aircraft models and building working model steam and jet engines. Most engine projects can be completed with a mini lathe (mini lathe) and drill press and for ease I have used a mini CNC mill on some projects. Aircraft projects need a fair amount of skill to produce an flyable aircraft - have a go and then you will know. I have included free steam engine plans, free RC ship and boat plans including a Clyde Puffer and Deep Sea Tug projects, Steam train and RC Tank information and reference material, even an RC Duck and Steam Powered Helicopter- There is a new updated section on RC Power Boat Racing with articles on Brushless motors and 26cc Zenoah Powered Deep V racing with videos and photographs.
